Instructions
- Step 1: Crush the Oreos. Start by placing the Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until finely crushed. Alternatively, place cookies in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin.
- Step 2: Combine with Cream Cheese. In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreos with the softened cream cheese. Mix well until no dry bits remain.
- Step 3: Form the Balls. Using a cookie scoop, scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Place each ball on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Step 4: Chill the Balls. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to firm up the balls.
- Step 5: Melt the Candy Coating. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the candy melts according to package instructions until smooth.
- Step 6: Coat the Oreo Balls. Remove the chilled Oreo balls and dip each into the melted candy coating, using a fork to lift them out.
- Step 7: Garnish and Set. Place the coated balls back on the baking sheet. Sprinkle with crushed cookies or sprinkles before the coating sets. Allow to cool completely.
Notes
- Oreo balls can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- For longer storage, freeze them for up to three months, separating layers with parchment paper.
- Consider using different flavors of candy melts for creative variations.
